SerIons Loss by Fire.-On the fore
part of last week Mr.. Edward DeVerna
who resides on his farm some four miles
east of town, was summoned to Detroit
o assist i taking care of his sonin.law
who was lying dangerously i'll. At
noon Friday last, in his absence and
while the family were eating dinner,
fire communicated from the smoke
house to the residence and with strong
wind it got under such headway before
discovered that his fine residence was
totally destroyed together with nearly
every article of its contents, all con
sumed. Miss Florence, who was sick
at the time. and also brother, were SO
completely overcome by the excitement
tina, they were bereft of their eason for
time, and the daughter is yet in crit
ical condition. There was but little in
surance upon the property destroyed.
Mr.. DeVerna returned home on late
train the same night, in answer to dis
patch, to witness the ruins of many
years of hard labor.

600, has been organized in Perrysburg,

THE LEE AND THE NATCHEZ

The most exciting event in the his
tory of the river, was the famous
race between the h. Il. Lee and the
Natchez, in July, 1870. River rae
ing was then popular with captains
and owners of fast boats, but subse-
quently, owing to the number of ter
rible casualties it precipitated, racing
lost It's attractiveness, and is now al
most unheard of. The Lee and Nat
chez were recognized as the fastest
boats on the river, and the speed OF
each had long been a subject of dis
pute. The admirers of the Natohez
asserted that she could beat the Lee
in race of any distance under equal
conditions. The partisans Of the
magnificent Lee were equally certain
that their boat was the swiftest,
and, although no formal challenge
between the captains passed, it was
understood that a trial Of speed
would take place on the lst of July,
on which date both boats were ad-
vertised to leave New Orleans for
st. Louis. The Lee had perfected
every arrangement to win, and in
stead of stopping to wood up" as
usual. was met by tender and the
pine knots and wood tossed to the
boiler deck while the boats were
running at full speed. The whistle
of the Lee signaled the start on the
morning of July LIST, aud a few min
utes later the Natchez shrieked back
a defiance and swung out into the
stream. Both crews were made up
of picked men, and just enough
freight was carried to ballast the
boats properly. The papers had
been filed with references to the
great race for weeks, and the banks
of The river from New Orleans 70 st.
Louis were lined with peo-
pie. After passing Vieksburg the
Natchez was compelled to stop
a number of times to take on wood,
aud in this manner lost considerable
time. On the afternoon Of July 4th
300, 900 people gathered on the st.
Louis levee from st. Louis to Caron-
delet and witnessed the triumphant
entry of the r Il. Lee. The Lees
time for the 1900 miles was 3 days, 8
hours an Ia minutes. The Natchez
arrived some hours later, and her
time was B days, q hours and 50
minutes. The record of the T. M.
White, made in 1874, 3 days, q
hours and 8 minutes had been the
fastest up TO that period. The cap
tain of the Natchez was not satisfied
with the result and challenged the
Lee to another race. In October,
1870 they raced from New Orleans
to Natchez, 300 miles; and the
Natchez Won in Is hours 81 minutes.
The Lees time was l6 hours 50
minutes

A NICE INDOOR Dress
CHARMINGLY DEVELOPED l.
SPRIGGED INDIA MUSLIN.
How Fashionable Lawn Tennis Cos.
tunes Are Made-POihters
for the Women.
lOORnrsroSDEScn OF IRE AprrAL.I

NEW YORK, june 10.-The illus
tration for the week shows a very
neat indoor dress, which can be very
charmingly developed in sprigged
India muslin, figured foulard, or,
cheaper, in French Saline. 1t is
trimmed with lace and velvet, and is
made with the usual full sleeves and
draped apron common to all these
summer dresses. This costume is of
the kind which should be well rep
resented in every young lady's big
Saratoga-the trunk which is to ae-
company her to the seaside or the
mountains-for it is just the thing for
the hotel, piazza or drawing room.
Fashionable lawn tennis costumes
are made with square blouses, lacing
in front, all the way down, so loosely
as to display q vest usually of the
same material beneath. The materi-
ais used are hannels, serges and in
some cases canvas cloths, the last
particularly for the skirts. Combina-
tons OF striped and plain goods are
much favored, and fancy sashes
drawn about the waist are employed
to add to the effect.
The sleeves are always full and
loose, with tight cuffs, and they allow
complete freedom TO the arms. The
skirt OF such q dress ia usually
killed, without drapery, and full
enough to permit easy movement,
without being so loose as to encum-
Der the limbs. Altogether, the fash
ionable tennis toilette is a sensible
as well as very pretty dress
An attractive summer dress lately
seen was of figured blue and white
foulard, plain blue canvas cloth and
silk OF the same shade. On this dress
both basque aud drapery we're of the
figured goods-a large white flower
on blue ground-and on the former,
a V shaped plastron was set, com
posed of plain blue silk. This plas-
iron was hidden beneath covering
of cream colored lace, and the same
effect-silk foundation with lace
above-was reproduced on the cuffs
and collar. The canvas cloth skirt
was killed with silk foot plating,
and the front drapery Of foulard-a
beautiful material for draping-was
short and round, creasing in heavy
folds. The drapery at the back was
not quite long enough to conceal the
skirt, but tell in three deep points

For wear indoors, at home, some
thing comfortable is what most ladies
seek. But as comfort is not always,
nor often incompatible with neatness
aud beauty, | would suggest a very
attractive blouse model for wear at
home, even when one il not expect
ing the advent OF callers and con-
sequently need not look particularly
stylish. This pattern can be devel-
oped in almost any soft, delicate ma
teriAl, cashmere being among the
most suitable fabrics, and is made
quite loose, scarcely fitting to the
form at all except at the waist, where
it is confined by a broad ribbon
sash. The front il laid alternately
in broad box plaits and in narrower
clusters of plaits; the box plaits are
detached from the bust to the bet
tom OF the garment, and it 10 beneath
these plaits that the broad satin rib
bon is passed, hanging in loose bow
at the left hip. The cuffs and loose
sailor collar are Of sarah. This de-
sign also looks very pretty in tOulard,
with trimmings o. velvet
Little light shoulder wraps with
long ends, composed Ito all outward
appearance) Of equal portions lace
and beads, are among the street
wraps still permissible.
Close fitting street jackets of can
vas cloth in the heavier qualities, are
also seen, and long ulsters are the
English idea Of comfort, out Of doors,
even in the warmer weather. Ladies
wearing them, however, keep them
we'll open in front
Satin and faille FrAucaise is com
bination with striped velvet and
brocades form the fashionable even
ing toilets worn upon occasions OF
ceremony.
The dancing costumes, which not
a few young ladies are preparing in
anticipation OF enjoyable (ifinformaD
country hops, are not, however, of
such elegant fabrics. Simple, sprigged
India muslin and similar light mate
rails form the basis Of these dresses,
and the models are as plain as the
materials. Few Of them exhibit com
binatiOns Of goods, and some Of them
look as though very few
hours had sufised for their
production. Nevertheless they are
fresh, quaint and appropriate to their
intended uses. The shape Of the
cOrsage is usually the round cut
bodice Of eur grand me thers, and is
made rather decOllcte, the arms be-
ing left entirely bare. Full skirts,
without drapery, add 10 the SEM
blanee Of antiquity which this style
Of bodice imparts.
-
POlonaises are quite popular, and
as the summer goes on, seem 10 in
crease in favor. RedingOte shapes
are also sometimes seen.
Simple tailor made costumes are de-
veloped in smooth plain wooden ma
terials in pale prays and lawns. These
costumes in Paris are made very
much in the stYleof riding habit,
and are termed rObes Amazones.
